NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS"

Our English tory brethren are
saying that it is none of our busi-
ness in America to be expressing
opinions about Irish affairs and
other matters relating to the polity
of the British Empire. Perhaps it
isn't. But when did the English
tory come round to this way of
thinking? Has he not put his nose
into the affairs of every people un-
der the sun? And didn't he put
his nose very Extensively into the
affairs of the United States when
he encouraged and supported the
great Southern rebellion-a rebel
lion in support of slavery and
against liberty and civilization?
We of America are not urging a re-
bellion in Ireland against the fun
damental principles of modern civ
ilizatiOn; we are protesting against
hideous spoliation and oppression
there, and we are justified in doing
it on the ground that we are men,
and nothing that concerns humani-
ty can be alien to US. England has
governed Ireland during seven GEN.
turies by brute force, whose record
is written in pages as bloody and
shameful as any that deface histo-
ry; and the sense of humanity all
over the world is that this course
of oppression ought to cease. We
Of America revolted from the Brit
ish government for reasons of inf
nitely less weight. and won our in
dependence; and though this is
not practicable for Ireland, the
reason is no less powerful why Ire
land should not agitate and press
for the principles of justice and
liberty, or why the friends Of JUS
tice and liberty throughout the
world should not join their voices
with hers. England lifted up her
voice against oppression in Bulga-
ria; can we not with equal reason
lift up our voice against oppression
in Ireland?

What the Gun was Good For.

"Yes, gentlemen" said one. of
the few yet unboycotted liars of the
Bohemian club as he finished q
snipe-shooting story, "that was
the most remarkable gun l ever
saw. Wouldn't take a thousand
dollars for it."
cts nothing to a gun l used to
own" said an ex-champion prevari-
Gator, walking up just then. at
was simply impossible for bird to
get away from that gun. 1t made
the closest and most regular pattern
you ever saw. I'traded it for 4
fifty-acre lot.
"To Bogardus, eh?" said the
other finished equivocator, sarcast-
ically.
"No, to Jimpson, the big whole
sale druggist. He used it to shoot
holes in porous plasters-fifty at
a clip"
And then nothing could be heard
except the scratching of the other
mans pen as he wrote out his res
ignation.

A PECULIAR LAW.
Spokane Falls Review.

On the night of March 21, 1887,
the dwelling house of Mr.. Brewer,
at Medical lake, worth about $25QO,
was burned. The fire was supposed
to have been the work of an incen-
diary. At the time of the fire the
house was unoccupied. For some
cause Mr.. Brewer occasiOned the
arrest Of Mrs. Maggie Brewer, his
divorced wife, charging her with
the offense of arson in burning the
building. A hearing was had be-
fore Judge Booge, justice of the
peace, at which T. G. Griffiths,
Esq, appeared as counsel for de-
fendant and maintained, among
other things, that it was not a
crime against the laws of the terri
tory to burn an unoccupied DWELL
ing house. The lady was held to
bail, however, and on Wednesday
her case came up before the grand
Jury at Spokane Falls.
The jury submitted the point OF
law to the court. and His Honor,
Judge Turner, instructed them in
substance that it was not the crime
of arson or any other crime to
burn an unoccupied dwelling house,
and that they should report not a
true bill. The announcement OF
the law created much comment and
surprise. 1t seems that the statute
relating to arson was amended in
1856, and in the amended statute
this state of facts was omitted, and
not denounced as a crime. From
this decision, which seems to be
unquestionably the law, it results
that any person may burn an un
occupied dwelling house anywhere
in this territory with absolute i'm
punity. so far as any punishment
therefor is concerned.

IT MIGHT SERVE, oR1TM1aHTTT

Blaine is going to England; he
will be the guest Of Gladstone he
will be feted and lionized by the
liberal and home rule party, and
the enthusiasm in his behalf of our
American voters Of Irish birth and
ancestry it is believed will he pro-
digiously stimulated and increased.
He may speak in England for
home rule in Ireland, and in that
case both hemispheres will hear
him. This programme is let out
by some of his presidential "boom-
ers +" in our Eastern states; and
very probably, if carried out, it
may help Blaine to the nomination
next year. But whether it would
help him to an election may be
questioned. Very probably il
would increase his vote very largely
among our people of Irish birth
and extraction, and also to some
extent among others who sympa'
thize with the cause Of home rule
in Ireland. But it might cost
corresponding loss of votes from
those Americans who sympathize
with English toryism. and from the
very large number of persons OF
English and Scotch birth and an
cestry who oppose lreland's claims
to local self-government. A signi'
ficant thing in this connection is
the fact that the emigration from
England to the United States dur
ing the last eight or ten years ha:
been much larger than that from
Ireland. The history of our poll
ties is that is has not been a pay
ing business to hunt popularity.

but happy anyhow, and now it was

Formerly" he said, "people
came and ate, kicked about the
price and went away. Now they
stay at Home"
"But what do you think is going
to be the ultimate effect of this
law?" l asked in an elocutionary
tone of voice.
"Why, / don't believe that in a
year from now there will be enough
of it left to wad a gun. Ignorant
people think that as the law is OBJ
noxious to the railroads it ought to
be a big thing for the people, but
that is not always the case. And
look at the inconsistency of the
thing. Years ago congress gave
big grants to the railroads to build
their lines into new and undevel-
oped territory West. Now the
West has got to move East and
grow up with the country"
] do not yet know exactly what
course to pursue, but there will be
a meeting for the purpose of taking
some definite action in the matter
here in New York this week. The
meeting will be largely attended
by the railway eating-house men,
the theatrical and travelling men,
the sleeping and dining car people
and myself. BILL NYE.

A Comparatively New Textile Fabric
which IL Forging Ahead


New York Mail and Express.
Rewards, aggregating $4,000,
have been offered for the past few
years by various foreign govern
nrents, particularly the English,
French and Chinese. to the man
who could invent a machine that
would spin ramie into yarns. 1t
grows about four feet high. 1t is a
parental plant, and throws out
numerous stems as thick as the lit
tie finger. The fiber of the inner
bark is the useful portion and can
be removed when the stems are
dried. BY rubbing the stems in
the hand the bark peels off and
leaves this fibrous matter, which is
very strong, in appearance resem-
bling silk. For many years the
Chinese have been spinning this
fiber and weaving it by hand. 1t
makes a durable fabric, not unlike
silk and linen in texture. In
France and England it is used to
mix with and add stability to silk
A Frenchman has recently invented
machine to take the place of
handwork. A large factory is now
being built on the Hudson river,
which will be used for this purpose.
After the yarns are made they can
be put on any loom and manufac-
tured into all kinds of fabric.
Ramie in its raw state is much
stronger than Russian hemp, and
it is impossible to break it by using
any ordinary force. When manu-
factured itcan be used in almost
any material. Ramie was first in
troduced into this country in 1867,
in the botanical gardens at Wash
ington. 1t was grown in Jamaica
in 1854. 1t is easier to raise than
cotton, and three crops can be OBJ
tanned each year. 1t can be raised
from seed. India, Egypt and China
are best suited for raising ramie
1t sells in the raw state at about I
cents per pound, or a little cheaper
than cotton, but more money can
be made out of ramie, because it re-
quires less attention and realizes
in larger quantities.

DEAD INDIAN DEBTS.
East OregOnian.

"The debts of dead Indians are
paid by the relatives. said an ex-
merchant on Main street Monday.
"When Anderson and Barnhart," f"
he continued, "killed the Indian
several years ago, he owed me $345.
Since that time $3.50 of this amount
has been paid me by his relatives.
Kentucky died the other day ow-
ing me about $50. Already his re-
latives have approached me on the
subject and made arrangements to
pay the amount. 1t is law with
them to pay the debts of their dead
relatives. and they never break it.

a white man dies leaving no prop
